Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
Offered in February. Visiting in a couple of weeks. Plays PG for powerhouse Paul VI, where Kenny used to coach. Smallish (listed at 5'11") but lightning quick with elite passing ability, good shooter, defender and leader. I'm excited about this one.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
Some good game highlights of Ben against a quality opponent. He's #3 in white.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
Yeah I was definitely thinking more on the side of Tyson, Fatts and Jarvis Garrett. Hopefully he does not take the Mike Powell career path.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑1 year agoWe've had little ones like Tyson Wheeler and Mike Powell. I think Hammond is somewhere in between, but closer to Tyson than to Powell. (hopefully) His speed and quickness do remind me of Fatts though.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
Lol so quick to judge
I’ll bet if the rankings changed and he became top 100 you’d be posting left and right we need to get him

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
He's a 3 star on the rise. He plays PG for one of the best programs in the country. His teammates are all going P6. One scout said he's been watching him for 3 years and every time he sees him, he's better than the last time he saw him. Smart kid too.He'll probably blow up this year. If he was 6'2", he'd be a 4 star.theblueram wrote: ↑1 year agoWell, of course I would.

I think Archie likes traditional PGs and they know there is PT available if they make the grade.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
With some of our players still having a Covid year some might not use it and graduate and go play over seas

The Huskies will then host Paul VI (Va.) and Team Takeover small forward Isaiah Abraham and center Patrick Ngongba from June 12-14.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
I don’t mind having a small, dynamic pg on the team that can potentially play at a high level. If the skill level is there, a small, speedy pg can be a pest for the opposing teams O and be a problem to keep up with on D.
Hope we can land him and we get an opportunity to watch him develop into an impactful player.
Go Rhody!

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
Looking at his stats from HS last year he did put up some great games even with all those 4* teammates I think he’ll be going up the rankings soon

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
That's why I hope we get a verbal now and a signing in November. He could blow up. From what I've seen on tape, I love his game.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
I've worked from home full time for years and I found that particular throne model not very conducive to desk work.
No adjustments for the arms or back, plus...and this is critical if you're going to 'desk job' it...no wheels and it doesn't spin.
If you have a desk job....chair gotta have wheels and has to be be able spin...and I haven't been able to find a good solid throne that meets that criteria yet...

Assuming we want him, that's a recruiting battle we really need to win.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
A solid point guard with his quickness would be a great addition.
Too bad we won't get a packaged deal with his teammate Garrett Sundra from Paul V1.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond
We definitely want him. He's the leader of one of the best high school teams in the country. His teammates are all going P6. He would be too if it weren't for his size. He's fast, tough and very talented. The school I'd be most concerned about is Mason since Ben is from Virginia.
